Delta beginning when you have to turn on the power and you wander
around and there are no enemies at all, but lots of things flying
apart, weird sounds from the walls and behind doors, etc.  Really
spooky and I kept waiting for something to jump out at me, but nothing
did.  

So now I am in Delta 2 and I found this little cubicle thing with
glass you can shoot out and I see some stuff on the floor including a
rocket launcher, but I can not get into the thing.  I tried to jump
through the windows or crawl through the bottom, no luck.  
Diver - 29 Sep 2004 03:32 GMT
If you blow out the glass on the bottom, you can 'reach in' and get
some of the cells.  I have yet to figure out how to get the rest.  

    ANBODY SOLVES THIS ONE YET!

Four passes through (recruit,marine,veteran,nightmare) and I still
haven't figured it out :(

Supposedly you can jump crouch thru the upper glass from the boxes...but I
have tried it a hundred times and can't get it to work.

I managed to do it by pushing a box up to the window and doing a jump
squat.  But it took a few tries.  Actually I did it twice because just
after I got to Hell at 640x480 @ 15-30 fps, I started over with video
upgrade to 1280x1024 @ 60 fps.  It went a bit easier up to knowing what to
expect and having the martianbuddy.com code for the prize lockers, but I
am still in Hell.

Grah. I actually remember this and I got in. I think I might have used
drag entity to move some boxes around though?).

I figured that part out, yes I did.  There are a couple of boxes lying
around.  The smaller one can be pushed right up against the wall and
you can crouch on top of it and crawl into the room.  Then the other
side has the desk or whatever the body is on, you use that to get out.

I downloaded the "tweakedoom" mod earlier.  Pretty fun.  Gives the
shotgun a lot more kick, makes some stuff look a lot more interesting.
The shotgun (and also some improved life and armor) makes things
easier so best to use it to play through after you beat the game
yourself.  But it is neat anyway.  The something-or-other church mod
is okay.  It should not be too long before we start seeing some really
neat mods.

The boxes are easily moved around but none of them allowed me to "crawl into
the room". The boxes only put you even with the frame of the window, not
above it. Only speaking from past experience, of course. I'll try again
later. Maybe I was using the wrong box.

Yeah, I got one cell too. I tried a lot to get in. he window isn't even
there, coz the guy's leg is sticking out. I killed his a.s and still
couldn't get in.

I think it's the one thing that got by in the QA testing. I hope they put
that in the Doom3 movie, too. Someone working in an office with no doors
and a couple of glass windows...

jump crouch in as stated I did it after 3rd attempt probably by luck or
chance though but it can be done :)

You get a running start, and then you go into a flying sideways dropkick,
and...

Seriously, id, are you listening? Most of us can get to hell and back but
can't get into this weird a.s cubicle. How the hell did the UAC employees
get into it???? Speaking of relating it all to employment, I guess the UAC
must have said to hell with OSHA standards and building codes, because
there's violations all over the place... Why, someone needs to mop up all
that blood for starters...

I know this is an old thread but if anyone's still looking at it I finally
got in.  Pushed a chair down the stairs in friont of the fallen cabinet (got
rid of the body first with a shotgun blast).  Jumped onto the chair.  Jumped
then crouched a few times and I was in.  Piccie in alt.binaries.doom for the
unbelievers.  Shaun

was the chair upright or on its side.  When I first played (recruit),
I pushed a chair down to the window but it still didn't get me in.
The chair had fallen over on its side.  I didn't try upright.  As a
matter of fact, every other time I got to that spot, I just grabbed
the easy cells and went on my way.

Hi Diver, on it's side.  Wouldnt know how to get it upright anyway.  Shaun

Tried that same method the first time I found the room and never got
it to work.  Congratulations for solving it.  This and the one where
the amo is up on top of the cage are the only two puzzles I never did
figure out.

I don't understand why so many people have been having trouble with this.
When I played it all I did was jump on the cardboard box on the left side of
the glassed in section then do a 'jump duck' move with slight forward
momentum to get in through the window. I didn't think twice about it.

A friend of mine was having trouble getting in so I reloaded my game and in
20 trials I was able to jump and duck successfully 15 times from the box.

Your description involved using a chair. Was the cardboard box not there for
you? Anyway I'm glad you were able to use sheer ingenuity and determination
to get in there - well done!

Cheers,
Tim

No ingenuity involved.  Determination only came from seeing this thread
prior so when I got there I thought I'd have a go.  I did try the boxes but
managed to push them into a corner where they became 'stuck' and I couldnt
use them.  Hence the chair.  (I wasnt going to mention that cock-up as it
did slightly detract from the success of getting in) :-)

I asked the same question a long while ago on http://www.planetdoom.com/
and no one ever said they got in. I tried the box many times. I
"cleared" the guy with the leg sticking out, shot out windows, got the 1
cell that's close to the window, but never got in.

On Planet Doom, I think someone said they used "noclip" mode to try to
find a door or other way in.

You are a hero. And a bastard, as I have to go back to that spot and
play the whole game again!

Lol, sorry.

I went back to that spot.  I still did not have to do anything except
push the smaller box against the window, crouch and go in.  ::shrugs::

Same here, I remember the spot but I don't remember any difficulty
getting the stuff inside.
Can someone tell me exactly where this is, which autosave to load and
how far you have to go to get to it, to see if I'm remembering correctly.

Hi Inglo, Autosave Delta Labs 2a, watch your position by the text at the
bottom of the screen (to the right of your health and armour) and look for
the 'Records Office'.  Not sure exactly how far in.  Shaun.

I don't know if there's much of a trick to this you just have to get the
box so it's angled up a bit.

I tried it again, you don't even need to have the box angled.  It's very
easy, it's a duck jump... didn't you guys play Half-Life?

That's how I did it.  Old skills never die eh?  Remember the long jump in
HL?  Still have that perfect :-)

In Delta 2. Peter Raleigh's office which is in the General Office
Area. The one with all the cubicles next to storage locker 112.

I'm a huge fan of the part where a civilian guides you through that dark
section with the lamplight.  Creeped me out.

The section where the contained bodies of the monsters were being
transported (same basic idea, small pocket of moving light, lots of darkness
for enemies to hide in) was also pretty cool.

Ah yes. "Alpha Labs" Edwards, he has become affectionately called.

I think my ammo was getting low during that part, which made it way more
creepy than it would have been.
